Grace Industries IN-COMMAND Monitor Radio Telemetry Transceiving Unit
with In-Command Software Package. Not included is the Panasonic
Toughbook® computer (shown).

In-Command/Grace Watch A package includes the
Watchdog Monitor transceiver unit which sends and receives the radio
telemetry signals displayed on the In-Command or Grace-Watch software.
The system is capable of monitoring over 3,000 users. Some of its key
features are the immediate notification of TPASS 4 in a MAYDAY or
distress situation, the ability to send EVACUATE or CALL signals to
selected individuals or all personnel, the ability to perform automatic
Personnel Safety Accountability (PAR) checks, and automatic ROLL CALL
when conditions warrant. The Panasonic Toughbook® computer (not
included) offers touch-screen flexibility in a ruggedized computer.

TPASS-4 is a High-Performance Two-Way Radio Signaling
PASS Device that provides Total Accountability automatically registering
each TPASS 4 unit present by identifying the individual Firefighter by
name and ID number. TPASS 4 is the only 'Two-way Signaling Stand-Alone
PASS' that was designed and tested to meet the life safety needs of
firefighters. It is third party certified intrinsically safe. Smart
Signal Technology is a patented proprietary high-performance, encrypted
two-way radio signaling system that allows every TPASS 4 device to
repeat critical distress and evacuate signals. This provides a superior
reach and penetration deep into complex building structures assuring
these alarm signals are received by the Incident Commander. The
Accountability Storage Key is an added benefit. The clear Identification
Window provides the opportunity to specifically identify the user
through the ability to personalize the keys with photos, names, ID
numbers, department ID, bar-codes, etc.

GRACE has been manufacturing PASS devices for the Fire
Service for decades and while they no longer carry NFPA Approval they
are still available for the few departments that do not have them
integrated into their SCBAs.

These devices are available in motion only or heat and motion
configurations.

ARSON INVESTIGATION – GAS DETECTION

Model 20 Non-Calibrated Hydrocarbon Detector

The Model 20 Investigator’s Aid Hydrocarbon Detector incorporates the most desirable features of any compact, metered detector available. This unit was specifically designed for hydrocarbon accelerants that may be present at the fire scene*. The Model 20 features compact, rugged construction in combination with excellent detection sensitivity.

Model C Hydrocarbon Gas and Accelerant Detectors.

The Model C is a noncalibrated detector that is used primarily for arson investigation and where it is desirable to detect trace amounts of hydrocarbons. The Model C can easily detect fuel oil concentrations of less than 200 ppm or gas leaks of less than one cubic foot per year.

Model 850 Investigator's Aid

The Model 850 Investigator’s Aid Hydrocarbon/Accelerant/Gas Detector incorporates advanced signal processing techniques in combination with a ruggedly constructed detector to bring you the most advanced survey tool available. This unit will detect the presence of hydrocarbons that may be present at the fire scene and is equally effective as a general purpose gas detector. It is capable of detecting gas leaks of less than 1 cu. ft. per year or gas concentrations of less than 50 parts per million (methane used as test gas).

Model 851 Investigator's Aid

The Model 851 Investigator’s Aid is a precision instrument designed specifically for detecting petroleum volatiles/hydrocarbons and natural gas. The Model 851incorporates advanced signal processing techniques in combination with a ruggedly constructed detector to bring you the most advanced survey tool available. The detector features two modes of operation: a high sensitivity search mode for locating very small gas leaks and a calibrated mode of operation that indicates 0% to 100% of the lower explosive limit (LEL), methane used as the test gas.

The Model C+ is very similar to Model C and features both a high sensitivity mode of operation and calibrated mode of operation. The Model C+ is used when it is desirable to know if the gas is explosive and will only annunciate if a gas has exceeded a preset level, 20% of the lower explosive limit (LEL), methane used as the test gas. This detector may also be calibrated to other gases and gas concentrations.

LONE WORKER PROTECTION
100% coverage – 100% of the time

GRACE INDUSTRIES is the Fire Industry Innovator in Fire Fighter Personal Alert Safety Systems (PASS Alarms). Over the years the NFPA standards have tightened dramatically and more and more manufacturers dropped out of the market and now GRACE Industries is the only manufacturer of these products.
Their expertise in this field helped them develop and produce North America’s first Lone Worker Monitoring system.
Taking their very successful SuperPass device and integrating it with Spread Spectrum wireless technology allowed them to develop the GEM Lone Worker Systems.

Used in Industries from coast to coast across Canada, the Grace GEM family of Lone Worker Monitoring products have met with tremendous acceptance. They are
In Water and Sewage treatment plants, Chemical plants, Military bases, Liquor stores, Bakeries, Pharmaceutical facilities, Cosmetic firms, Metalworking shops, Breweries and many others where workers work alone.

The basic Model AT system starts with LTX200 transmitter(s) (from 1 through 32 workers) which sends a signal to the receiver. The AT receiver accepts and individually identifies up to the worker in distress, The wall mounted receiver can use a remote antenna to give a better range. Repeaters can also be used to transmit the signal from one to another to cover very large areas.

Upon receipt of an alarm, the AT receiver can activate local or remote audio/visual alarms as well as an optional telephone dialer to call off site.

The intrinsically safe LTX200 transmitter monitors a
worker’s motion and if a worker should be rendered unconscious or
immobile for a preset time (30-60-90 or 120 seconds) the transmitter
emits a 95db audio alarm and sends a distress signal to the receiver.
In a typical 60 second application, the LTX200 emits a local audio
pre-alert alarm to the wearer should they stop moving after 50 seconds
of non-motion has elapsed. This pre-alert last for 10 seconds before
going into full alarm/transmitting mode at the end of the full sixty
second cycle. This pre-alert helps prevent false alarms. There is a
panic button on the transmitter in the event that a worker is injured
but not incapacitated. Hitting this button bypasses the time sequence
and the LTX200 immediately goes into full alarm/transmitting mode. In
larger facilities a remote antenna with or without repeater(s) may be
used to extend the coverage to any size facility. The LTX200 is
available in 9Vdc battery or rechargeable configurations.

The model AT receiver in addition to receiving alarms;
when used with the SC500 or TPASS 3 Transceiver can send an
alarm/evacuation signal back to the worker to evacuate the area.

Optional Telephone dialer to call offsite in
the evert of an emergency.

GRACEWATCH SYSTEM

The GraceWatch system was developed for large industrial applications where there may be many lone workers over a large area. The GraceWatch system monitor is coupled to a computer which provides the status of all monitored employees and when used with the GRACE Locaters can indicate the last location of the worker in distress.

The GraceWatch uses the same Remote Antennas and Repeaters as the standard GEM system and works with either the TPASS 3 or TPASS 4 transceiver. The GraceWatch system has the added advantage of being able to transmit an alarm to the TPASS 3 or TPASS 4 units indicating an emergency evacuation alarm to the worker(s).

The
Grace LOCATOR when installed around the facility, aids in determining
where the distressed worker is located.

MS900 SERIES

The GRACE MS900 series is a small inexpensive Lone Worker Monitoring system for one worker in a relatively small area. It utilizes the same
TPASS II or SuperCell Transmitters but has no audio or visual alarm indication.

The unit can use any of the GRACE repeaters but not the remote antenna.
An internal relay contact is provided to operate external alarms or activate a telephone dialer.

other Grace yellow-line telemetry products

WORKER TO WORKER MONITORING

GRACE transmit/receivers such as the TPASS III Co-Monitor and SC500 can be factory programmed to alarm to each other. This allows one lone worker to monitor the other as long as they are in range of each other (1/2 mile line of sight). Repeaters can be used to widen the area. If one worker gets into distress the other worker’s transmitter/receiver will go into alarm. This makes for a relatively inexpensive but reliable system.

Avl – mobile lone worker monitoring

These systems provide the GPS location of mobile lone workers in distress, allowing assistance to be dispatched in minutes rather than hours. Oil and gas, utility workers, parole and probation workers, over the road truckers, the military, and others who work alone in remote environments can enjoy a higher degree of personal safety assurance by using these products.

PORTABLE WORKER monitoring

The GRACE portable worker monitoring system is self-contained in
a weather resistant enclosure and has a rechargeable long life
battery for durability of the product.

It has both audio and visual alarms and can utilize any for the
Grace Transmitters

As shown below.

TRANSMITTERS

The
following is the selection of transmitting and tranceiving devices that
alarm back to the receiver.

LTX-200

The LTX-200
is a clip on Transmitter that monitors a workers motion and
alarms (95db) should the worker stop moving for a predetermined

period of time (typically 60 seconds). The LTX200 utilizes a
9Vdc battery or can be ordered with a rechargeable battery.

T-PASS III

The TPASS III is
a clip on Transceiver that operates in the same fashion as the
LTX. However it has the ability to both transmit alarms AND
receive alarms from the receiver. This allows the user to send
alarms to the workers from the transmit/receive model. The
TPASS II is available in rechargeable or disposable battery
configurations.

CO-MONITOR

The CO-MONITOR
operates the same as the TPASS III except it has the capability
to alarm should another worker on the same system get into
distress. Two of these units can be used together allowing the
opposite worker to act as the safety monitor for the other. The
have the same power options as the TPASS III. These can be used
with or without the receiver.

SUPERCELL-500

The rechargeable SC500
functions similarly to the CO-MONITOR in that it both sends and
receives alarms. It has the worker down functions except the
alarms (including a vibrating alarm) are not as loud as the
other models and it has a LC display which can indicate the
identity of the other worker in distress. It is commonly used
by a supervisor in conjunction with a base receiver. This
allows the supervisor to be alerted to a worker in distress
immediately.

The
transmitter monitors a worker’s motion and if a worker should be
rendered unconscious or immobile for a preset time (30-60-90 or 120
seconds) the transmitter emits a 95db audio alarm and sends a distress
signal to the receiver. In a typical 60 second application, the
transmitter emits a local audio pre-alert alarm to the wearer should
they stop moving after 50 seconds of non-motion has elapsed. This
pre-alert last for 10 seconds before going into full alarm/transmitting
mode at the end of the full sixty second cycle. This pre-alert helps
prevent false alarms. There is a panic button on the transmitter in the
event that a worker is injured but not incapacitated. Hitting this
button bypasses the time sequence and the transmitter immediately goes
into full alarm/transmitting mode. In larger facilities a remote
antenna with or without repeater(s) may be used to extend the coverage
to any size facility.

The
receiver indicates the individual worker in distress verbally and
visually and can also activate a relay to initiate local alarms or a
telephone dialer. The system can also be tied into your existing alarm
monitoring system.
